Abstract
Mental imagery and relaxation have been used in academic settings. One use of mental imagery has been to help students learn a concept like “circulatory system” by using an imaginary trip through the system. Mental imagery has been used as a readiness activity to prepare students for the academic day. Two ways this can be done are to have the student imagining himself or herself as a competent student, and practicing the ability to concentrate using an imagery activity. Stimulating creativity has been another use of mental imagery. For instance, mental imagery exercises have been used to precede brainstorming sessions. Another example of mental imagery in the classroom has been using transpersonal experiences to provide opportunities for students to improve communication skills.
